Updated Code 
//declare an int with a value of 5 and boolean
var five:int = 5;
var bool:Boolean;

if (five > 6)
{
	bool = true;
}
else
{
	bool = false;
}

//when comparing booleans, always make sure to 
//use two '=' signs, otherwise you'll set the 
//value of the variable to what you are trying
//to compare. This is called a logical operator.
if (bool == true)
{
	trace("This should actually be false. The value is 5, " +
		  "greater than 6.")
}
else
{
	trace("The value of the int is 5.");
}
